and republicans said this will spill over to the confirmation of john brennan at cia. do you think this is really about benghazi? the holdup here? >> well, all of the questions were not asked or answered in the white house, they wrote a letter to senators answering questions just this week. months after benghazi. but, you know, i know that democrats want to blame republicans for chuck hagel bumbling and stumbling across the finish line. i happen to agree with columnists like dana millbank that the president should have a cabinet that reflects his world views. i agree with that. so if like chuck hagel you believe at that ayatollah and ahmadinejad were credibly elected and you missed the 2009 election riots, well, then hagel's your guy. if you believe there's an international jewish lobby that is intimidating congressmen and is controlling the u.s. state department, hagel's your guy. and interestingly, everybody thinks he's going to get confirmed which would just prove that his last conspiracy is false. he was wrong once again. i think these are perfectly legitimate ques
